Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1887-03-04

mSnt OF the hiherlcan people to insist
upon an extra session Of Congress, but
! wish, for one, 10 give notice that in
my judgment this is the last time that
that usurpation will be submitted TO.
Mr.. Beck 81 WIS called out of the
chamber for awhile and was only in
time TO hear what seems tomea most re-
markable TRADE against the Speaker of
the Rouse. That gentleman needs no
| defence at my hands, and / had sup
| posed that IN the Senate of the United
States, under the rules and proprieties
of the occasion, comment upon the &C.
ton of the Speaker would not be in
dulged in. ! have only this TO say
that there is no man in Massachusetts
or outside Of Massachusetts, who
will attack either the integrity, honesty,
or ability Of the Speaker OF the present
House with IMMUNITY in his presence.
1t would be more manly for some gen
| tleman in that house to rise there and
say whatever il might be thought pro-
per to say in regard to his action a.
speaker than for member OF this Sen
ate, where he cannot be heard and
where he has no right TO speak, to at
| tack him. There are 80 partisans of
| the Senator from Massachusetts on the
floor of the other house, all of whom
have right TO make whatever attack
they please, and if they do they will
receive q response BETTING the at
tack"
Mr.. Beck added that it was not fair
["nor manly" interjected Mr.. Harris
to attack HIM behind his back when no
man dares attack him before his face.
Mr.. Beck held that Mr. Carlisle had
not violated any rules OF the House,
nor Of courtesy, nor honor, or that he
bad done any act either revolutionary
or wrong since he has presided over
that great body, and that no man will
dare to tell him that he has.
Messrs. Blackburn and Harris also
defended Mr.. Carlisle, whom they said
needed no defence, and condemned
MI. HOer's assault as supplementary,
unfair, and unjust.
Mr.. Blackburn fattered himself that
even in the State of Massachusetts,
where the Senator is known and seems
to he appreciated, it will not work
great deal of harm.
Mr.. Hoar asked what assault Mr..
| Blackburn referred to "
| Mr.. Blackburn 81 will answer the
Senator and tell him when he denomi-
mates the Speaker Of the American
Congress an 'usurper / deny it, and
say that it is not true and that nothing
in the record will sustain such an asser-
ton. When he says that the Speaker
Of the American Congress refused to
submit, or stated he would not submit,
the proposed revision of the tariff, |
deny that and say that it is not true.
Now, | trust the Senator is answered.
The Senator wanted the issue made.
he has the issue now"
Mr.. Hoar Has the Senator read the
letter to which ] refer?
Mr.. Blackburn have not, but /
have heard of it, and call the atten-
ton of the Senator from Massachusetts,
TO the fact that it is one, at least, of
the many mistakes which he has made
in the attack-tbat he was not discuss
ing the letter which he read, but was
discussing, in violation of the rules and
utter disregard of decency, members of
anOtherhouse and the Speaker and pre-
siding officer of that house. There is
no necessity for an elaborate defence
here. / simply rose to express the hope
th1t the day would come when the State
wjich furnished to the Senate chamber
OF the country such men as Daniel
Wei ster and Rufus Choate would at
last Gnd an opportunity to honor itself,
and to do an essential service to the
American people by sending here son
who will be at least the peer of the
present Speaker of the House of Re
representatives. in all that goes to consti-
tute fair dealing, high character, and
able patriotism.
Ills closed the discussion, and then
the question was put upon the confer
ence report, which Was agreed TO with
out division.
MIR. Malone called up the vetoed bill
for the public building at Dayton, o.,
and addressed the Senate in favor of its
passage over the veto.
Upon the question, "Shall the bill
pass, the objections of the Executive
notw ithstanding?" the vote was-yeas
80, nays 10; so the bill was passed over
the veto. Messrs Brown, Call, Eustis,
Fair, Payne, Vance, and Voorhees,
iDomocrats) voted in the affirmative,
the division otherwise being upon party
lines.
The bill for a public building at
Sioux City, iowa, was passed over the
vctc-3S TO 10.
i similar bill for the benefit of La
faye'te, Ind, was passed over the veto
81 20 ~.
A similar one for Lynn, Mass, was
passed over the veto-37 to -.
Mr.. Hale, at $40 2. NJ, reported
from the Committee on Appropriations
the general deficiency bill. This is the
last of the regular annual appropriation
bills remaining to be acted upon by the
Senate the Notifications bill having
been abandoned.
Nj Plumb submitted the conference
repcnupon thepOst- iceappropriation
bill, the result being q disagreement
with respect to the Senate subsidy
amendment.
Tending action the Senate took a re-
cess nom Z. NJ. till s r. NJ.
Tbtre was but a small attendance of
senator's when the Senate resumed its
session at 8 O'Clock.
The conference report on the post
Office appropriation bill Ga disagree
menO was taken up, and Mr. Plumb ex-
plain( d the matter. The only point of
disagreement was as to the South Pa
cific mail service. The House confer
rees declined to agree to the Senate
proposition. He moved that the Sen
ate insist and ask for further confer
ence.
After a heated discussion upon the
motion to recede, which was defeated,
d motion to insist was agreed to. The
same conferrees (Messrs. Plumb, Ma
hone, and Beck were appointed.
Mr.. Allison, from the Committee on
Appropriations, reported back House
bill appropriating $500, 600 for the
payment of the pensioners of the Mex
lean war, and it was passed.
Mr.. Blair attempted to get up the We
toed pension bills, but the Senate re-
fused TO consider them.
